Hi Peter. Thanks for the in-depth overview and conclusion to what caused the problem. Just goes to show how things, although changed, cleaned/serviced and refitted can again pop up again. Leading to another. Strip down. You sir are a surgeon-mechanic. Thanks and see you in the next one. Cheers.
Hi Norman, you are right & as you probably well know the plan and the actual execution quite often match up. But we cannot stop until they are finished and gone 😉👍👍👍
Very interesting Peter and I’m now feeling a bit paranoid as to what pressure I’ve got on the build 🤔🤫 Might stick the Autel on it…learned loads from watching your video on how to use it (assuming mine has similar live data features). The oil shower in the head is one flakey design and the chances of the pin hole’s blocking is high but then that should just cause higher oil pressure. Possibly in the clean out more carbon particles got loosened and made their way to the sump and strainer…if there was some to be seen on the housing it is possible there was lots more gone into the gauze…great fix and I love the fix for tightening that pump pulley bolt…at 120nm it’s a bugger to get off and on!!!
If your on was wrong you’d know by now Damien. The holes are very small in that oil shower alright 😂😂 I learnt a lot in the early days from Scanner Danner on using the snap on, unfortunately I don’t use it much nowadays. But very handy to see other lads using the equipment 😉👍👍👍

Well Kevin I suppose the only reason any of us get up in the morning is for money. And you know that feel when a car isn’t done or complete, that you won’t get paid 😬😬😬 Anyway sometimes you just have to keep on going until they are finished and gone 🙂🙂
Back to getting dirty now 😬😬 but I had a lovely break 🙏🙏 As a guy once said to me these Mazdas are not very forgiving. I don’t really know what resolved my problem but it is done & gone. Customer said everything is as it should be now, so I’m happy enough 😊😊
Good video. I like your deep diving to find the issue. What I get know , there are 2 x rubber rings on 2 pipes from oil pump going upwards, which need to be replace, while replacing oil strainer, as oil pressure can be loose on them. Saying that, my Mazda CX-5 2.2d just having engine swap, as I ignored low oil pressure warnings cause by washer under injector brake and soot blocked oil strainer. Despite changing oil every 4-5k miles with engine flush....it's happened. There should be factory recall for that copper washers to be replaced, as it's common issue, I heared.
The copper injector washers are the cause of all the oil issues that these engines suffer from. And most owners think that changing the oil regularly fixes the issue but unfortunately not. If the injector washers are replaced at around 100,000 kms it seems to avoid any oil related problems 😉👍👍👍
Heya Peter, I really enjoy your videos, keep it up it's good work! Quick question, where do you source your engine parts from? I see you use a lot of FAI Autoparts for Mazda cx-5 2.2, have you had good success with them? I've recently purchased one that I need to do the head gasket on and skim the head. While doing that I was going to throw a timing chain kit & oil pump chain kit at it, strainer, etc. Look forward to hearing from you. Cheers from New Zealand.
I generally order parts from my local suppliers & don’t ask too much about branding as they are normally good quality. I have had no issues with the FAI brand so could say in happy with them. I have a video tutorial on a cylinder head gasket also. It might come in handy beforehand 🤔🤔
Oil Strainer Replaced DPF EGR resolved Injector Seals Replaced and Cleaned Oil Light came on with this code only P055F. I suspect blockage again in Oil Strainer as I didn't do Injectors same time or before. Oil service not done yet, I topped up oil, didn't work.. Planning a flush and oil service tomorrow.

@@Mr_Aylin the injector washers fail firstly and the carbon from the injector washers failing builds up underneath the rocker/camshaft cover.

But I’m a bit of a weirdo & sometimes think that flushes either don’t work or loosen carbon from every crevice and cause more problems 😬🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️ And I sometimes like to see first hand what’s going on but that is just me being weird 😂😂😂
I have 2015 cx5 2.2 sky active. This code just popped up. The engine just had a carbon clean in January in Mazda Waterford. Heads gone with the car. How are they so troublesome? My mechanic said to change the gause and washers on injectors, but he thinks it also needs a full engine, carbon clean again, which costs around €800 alone would carbon build up that fast around 3000 km at most since done last
@@RXF140 if the dealer done the intake manifold decarb only 3000kms ago it is not needed again. But injector washers do fail & the carbon that leaks by the injectors does build up in the oil strainer causing oil pressure issues.

Hi Peter. Planning to investigate oil strainer this week. Car is parked up since I got P055F code. Do you replace sump bolts as I see it's recommended by Mazda? Any off the shelf rtv you would recommend? Mazda use threebond 1217d but not sure how easily that can be got.

Hi there! I have a same issue here. I have cleaned stainer and changed oil but now it again make same fault of low oil pressure. After oil change i can drive 10 miles and low pressure appears. Is it possible that oil pump is dead?
I haven’t seen oil pumps to fail yet, but there is 2 little mess filters. One on the feed & 1 on the return out of the pump. Well worth looking at , but you must remove the oil pump to check or clean them 🤞🤞
I have a 2015 6 with 2.2 210k km. Gonna sell it i think in fear of what’s coming. Looking online these engines seems really unreliable. My fil has has a v70 2004 drove 450k km. Not a single serious huge repair. Even the original clutch. I guess I had high hopes for Mazda.
@@kennedysgarage3281Are they the main culprit? What is the mechanism that causes the carbon deposits? Is it air getting sucked into the cylinders or lower pressure in cylinder? Then the deposits can clog up the inlet manifold, valve seats, sump oil strainer, EGR valve, vacuum pump? There are also those that say the deposits are due to shutting down the engine when the DPF is going through its regen cycle - surprised if occasional occurrences of that would cause such build up? Is a visual check of the top of the injectors a good starting point? Great videos BTW, very illuminating.
@@SaxJockey the only thing that causes the oil strainer to block is injector washers that start leaking under the rocker cover. This carbon buildup gets flushed down to the sump with the oil circulation. And blocks the strainer. Replacing the strainer without rocker cover & injector removal won’t work. Does that make sense ??

Yes, you will need to remove the injectors and replace the injector sealing washers. They are what will have caused the issue to happen. Remove the rocker cover when doing it to ensure no carbon is built up underneath 😉👍👍👍
